The goal of the present study is to discover and draw </em><em>the scientific map of medical domains in Iran during 2003-2007. For such purposes, we sought to </em><em>utilize the subject category co-citation analysis. In line with this, the most productive, effective and </em><em>the most cited medical subject categories in the period under investigation were determined. The </em><em>study population included all scientific papers published by Iranians in medical subject categories, as</em><br /><em>well as their references, which have been indexed in Science Citations Index Expanded (SCIE). Data </em><em>analyses and mapping were performed using Network Workbench (NWB) tool. The findings show </em><em>that Iranian medical scholarly publications have been increasing compared with its total scientific </em><em>products. The mappings reveal more density in the maps of each successive year under study. It can </em><em>be said that subject categories such as Medicine, General & internal, Pharmacology & pharmacy, </em><em>and Biochemistry & molecular biology are among the most productive categories as they have more </em><em>relations with other categories. There is a significant difference between the quantity of scientific</em><br /><em>products and the amount of citations garnered by effective categories and other medical categories. </em><em>However, no significant difference is found between the mean received citations per article in </em><em>effective medical categories and other categories. The authors recommend more attention be paid </em><em>to the scientific mappings using various techniques applied in different years in Islamic countries.</em></p><p><span><br /></span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science}, author={Hariri, Nadjla and Maryam, Shekofteh}, year={2017}, month={Sep.}, pages={79–94} }
